While It's Still Day

Let's begin in the name of the Father in the Son in the Holy Spirit. Amen. Let's call the mind all those we've promised to pray for.

“I believe in God the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ His”

only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate. It was crucified died and was buried. He descended into hell.

On the third day He rose again. He ascended into heaven and He seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Amen. Our Father who art in heaven, hollowed be your name. I kingdom come. I will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us a day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses. As we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us

As it was in the beginning, as noun that our shall be, world without end, Amen. Our first mystery,

there's a point in John's gospel, just as Jesus is getting ready to do one of his many miracles of healing, where he makes this interesting pronouncement. We must work the works of Him who sent me while it is day. Night comes when no one can work. Obviously, there are three interesting

“terms here. Day, night, and work. But what did Jesus mean with each of them?”

Our Father who art in heaven, hollowed beer name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us a stay, our dearly bread, and forgive us, our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, Amen.

an especially those most in need of thy mercy. Our second mystery, let's begin with the work

we're supposed to do. What is the work of God? What does God command? Well, above all, we have been commanded to love, and above all, we have been commanded to love God. Jesus is pretty clear on this. He states, unequivocally, that the greatest commandment is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your mind, and all your strength. That is the central work of God to love God. But wait, that doesn't seem to make sense.

If doing God's work just means loving God, then why is there any rush on that? Why do we

have to be busy about that now? Why can't we just put it off? Don't we have an eternity to love

“God? We can do that forever in heaven, right? Why not love the things of earth now?”

While we have a chance, while they're here, and while we have so much we have to get done every day. You know, we can learn to love God later when we get to heaven. Actually, though, that's not true. That's not how it works. There's a real sense in which, right now, during our time on earth, is the only time we have to love God forever. Our Father, who art in heaven, hollowed be your name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Your best is to stay our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses.

As we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil

“amen. Your Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou among women, blesses,”

a fruit of thy when Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us in our ensnown at the hour of our death, amen.

That's an interesting expression. It wasn't my decision. It's an interesting expression because it implies that I'm only really showing love or heroism or generosity if I'm making a choice. And that if I'm only doing what I have to do, what isn't up to me, then it doesn't really come from me.

You can only show love if it's possible for you to act one way instead of another.

“If you have no choice in the matter, then you simply have no opportunity to prove your love for”

anyone, you can say you love them. You can always say that. It's always an easy thing to say,

but you can't actually love someone unless you actually give to them in freedom. And as it happens, the time of our freedom is running out. Our Father who art in heaven, hollowed be your name, that kingdom come by will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us a stare, daily bread, and three of us are trespasses. As we, for you, those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil Imen.

Hail Mary, full of grace to Lord is with thee, blessed art thou among women, blessed is a fruit of thy.

Hail Mary, full of grace to Lord is with thee, blessed art thou among women, blessed is a fruit of thy.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, as now in the world without end, amen. Oh, my Jesus? Forgive us, our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to have an especially

“those most in need of thy mercy. Our fourth mystery, the only way we can show”

relive is if we have the possibility of not being generous and yet we choose to be

generous, loving, anyway. And here's the thing, the only chance you get forever

to act one way instead of another is this life. After this life, whether you had to purgatory heaven or hell, the time of your choice is over. Everything that happens to you from death onward and all your actions will only be the consequence of what you have already chosen. The time for being able to do one thing instead of another will be passed. Yes, we can still love God in purgatory and in heaven.

In the sense that we delight in His goodness and we're grateful that we've chosen to be with Him instead of being without Him forever. And we can even cooperate with Him in doing good on earth with our prayerful intercession. But we cannot work for Him anymore. We cannot prove that we love Him by choosing Him over the other lesser things. We might choose our choice

ourselves to God as an unnecessary gift will be gone. This is our chance. This is our one day.

“The time when it's light, the time when we can work for God and we will never have a chance to work”

for God to prove our love for Him again for all eternity, even if we make it to heaven,

we will never have this chance again. Our father, who art in heaven, hollowed

be your name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. He of us is today our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil amen. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed our Thou among women, blessed it is a fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us in our ensnown at the

and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, as now and ever shall be, world without end, amen. All my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to heaven, especially those most in need of thy mercy. Our fifth mystery, in purgatory and heaven, we will love God of necessity. We will be overwhelmed by His goodness, mesmerized, captivated, and so we will love Him. But now we only have to love Him if we choose.

“That's what daylight means. It means the time to freely love God. God has given us”

a little more daylight, a little more time. This time, this day is our chance to draw close to Him of our own free will, spending time with Him in prayer every day, going often to mass, often to confession, making concrete resolutions to remove the sins that keep us at a distance from the Lord. Are you in a job that feels meaningless? Well, infuse it with meaning and do it for the love of God. Do you feel like it's ground

hog day? Doesn't have to be? This day take everything that comes for the love of God. Now is our time. Now is the day, so that for all eternity we can say to God, I love you. I loved you before I had to. I gave you myself, while I still had the gift to give, and I'm so happy I did. Our Father, who art in heaven, hell, would be your name.

and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation,

As it was in the beginning, as now in the end of our shall be, we're old without end, amen. Oh, my Jesus, forgive us, our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to have an especially those most in need of thy mercy. St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God review, can we humbly pray, and do that

old prince of the heavenly hosts by the power of God, cast into hell, Satan and all the evil spirits, and brow throughout the world seeking the root of souls. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen. Well, what catches your attention with this meditation, this first meditation on eternity,

Teresa. This is actually something I was thinking about recently. The kind of the question of why give us time at all, the angels didn't have time. They just made a decision, but kind of my natural thought on it, and sitting within this meditation is just, it's really easy, if you look at life or the meaning of life as choosing yes or no, it's just God or not God. And that makes it seem like habit, then why all these other things? And I'll tell you what,

my kind of my conclusion was, it's really easy to say, I love you. It's really hard to live your love. And it's a whole different test if it's not just as simple as, okay, would you rather

have eternal hell or God and heaven? But the reality is we're going to make very different decisions,

if we actually have to choose it every day, if we actually have to live it out, we actually have to carry out our love. Every marriage would be perfect if it was only the wedding day. Yes, what a great analogy. And it's just it's cool and it's incredible and it's beautiful, the struggle that we have,

“and it's also really important to remember that side of eternity, that we only have so much time.”

To love God, to where we have the freedom, it's not that in heaven we won't have freedom. Here's the difference. Here on earth, God's invisible, I can't see him. I don't hear him audibly, like you're speaking to me. I can't reach out and touch him. And we encounter, we experience suffering, we experience things that just don't make sense. We experience a lot of,

Will I love him then? Will I love him? When I can't see him, when I can't hear him, when things

are very difficult, when I'm experiencing lots of suffering, lots of pressure response, will I still love him? That's the significance of this life, but it should feel our lives with tremendous meaning.

“I mean, it's really important to reflect on this concept of eternity because it makes you think about”

why eternity and then it makes all of those things less monotonous because you're like, oh, this is why,

this isn't, I'm not waiting for my big martyrdom moment. I'm not waiting for that day that God's going to challenge me. It's like right now, this is the battle and this is the moment and this is

“momentous, this is huge because God gave us these little moments too. He gave us just the hard”

mornings or the long work days. Well, the long night, long night. It's all part of it, so it doesn't have to feel meaningless. The fact that time stretches out isn't random. God gave us time for a reason

and he gave us limited time for a reason because every single second is really beautiful.

“I think a really important, concrete resolution. I think everyone should write it down and”

I don't know. Tap it to your bathroom mirror, tap it to your phone when you go to bed. First thing tomorrow morning, look at that and it says, I do this for the love of view for the love of you and then for the love of God, go spend time in prayer with Him, for the love of God, go to daily mass, for the love of God, accept the suffering of your day, for the love of God, do your work for the love of God, love your wife, love your kids, love the difficult people,

how about this for the love of God, avoid the things that get you into sin. And you don't have all the time in the world to love those people and you don't have all the time in the world to avoid those sins. And you don't have all the time in the world to love God. I'm excited for this series. It's a really cool concept. I am excited for this series. Well, thanks for the conversation. Thank you. Let's be apostles of friendship,

good conversation, and the rosary. Share this with others.
